hnsburg uriral nationa test PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30. 1975 Scott Seaborn, left, principal of Johnsburg's Middle school and director of the program for gifted student)^, offers his congratulations to Johnsburg Journal editor, Scott Dixon, managing editor Curt Ames, and the Journal staff for being named ALL AMERICAN by the National Scholastic Press association. The coveted prize is awarded only after considerable review of the outstanding student publications in a national contest. Johnsburg Journal Named By Press As All-American The following article was written by a member of the Johnsburg Journal staff con­ cerning the honor recently accorded the school newspaper in District 12: By Curtis Ames The Johnsburg Journal, student newspaper of John­ sburg Junior high school, has been named All American by the National Scholastic Press association. The All American award is the highest award presented by the NSPA and is given "only after considerable review of the outstanding publications," according to Mr. Wally Wikoff," executive director of NSPA. Only a few junior high schools in the nation attained this honor last year. The Journal received marks of distinction in content and coverage, writing and editing, physical appearance, and photography. "The Johnsburg Journal has a lot of well-written news and interesting feature material," declared one of the judges. "You are clear, concise, and complete in writing." The judges also praised the photography of the newspaper. "Few mimeos could come close to your pictures in quality or quantity." "I cannot praise the Journal staff enough," said Mr . Randy Swikle, sponsor. "Under the leadership of editor Scott Dixon and managing editor Curt Ames, the staff has worked long and hard hours both in and out of school to achieve such a quality publication." The staff was informed of the award through a special sur­ prise arranged by Mr. Swikle. I T S AND WITH IT THE RETURN OF THE .

The group was working on a literature assignment in class when a sheriff's deputy, followed by two photographers, entered the room. "I want you to remain calm, follow me to the gym, and ignore anything you might see in the halls." the officer told the class. "In a way I was scared," said Janice Stetter, advertising manager. "I thought maybe we did something wrong." "If it had been any other teacher I would have taken it serious." said Mike McBride, editorial feature editor, "but when I saw Mr. Swikle, I knew it must be a practical joke." The class was taken to the gym where Mr. Scott Seaborn, director of Johnsburg's Program for the Gifted and principal of the Middle school, presented editors with an All American plaque. The Staff was then taken to a school bus. The deputy then escorted the class to McHenry where the McHenry police took over the escort. Still confused, the staff had no idea of the destination. Finally, the police escort pulled into the parking lot of Mc­ Donald's restaurant. The restaurant treated the entire staff to a complete lunch in recognition of . their achievement. Another police escort took the students back to the school. The All American award is only the latest in a long list of innovations and ac­ complishments compiled by the first semester Journalism class. Earlier in the year, Dixon, Ames, and Nancy Preston wrote a student newspaper policy manual that was sub­ sequently adopted by the school administration. Barb Ansell, Patty Harker. Kathy Bavetz, Brian Norberg. Ken Schmitt. and Denise Coomes formed a committee to plan a student assembly and other activities in recognition of National Newspaper week, Oct. 6-12. Their efforts were entered in a Quill and Scroll contest, and they won second place in the nation-against high school competition-for their unique and creative ob­ servance of national Newspaper week Johnsburg's observance was described in Quill and Scroll magazine Dixon. Ames, and Preston interviewed Gov. Daniel Walker in his Springfield office. Their story won them first place in a national news writing contest sponsored by the Columbia Scholastic Press association. Ansell, Harker. and Diane Weingart won first place for their feature interview with Robert May, the creator of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Jim Tafel, sports editor, won first in the nation for his sports story about an 'injured athlete, and Dixoh won another first for an editorial on freedom of the press.
